By ED MEZA

BERLIN -- The Romania Film Festival -- a new addition to the fest circuit -- has announced that Kevin Costner will perform at the event with his band, Kevin Costner & Modern West on Oct. 3.

Describing it as a highlight, the fest said the country-rock band's performance would "give an insight into Costner's accomplishments besides filmmaking."

As for the fest's official competition, known as CineBlackSea, it focuses solely on films that have been produced in the Black Sea region.

A separate competitive international section showcases Women in Cinema, presenting feature films and documentaries directed by women.

Organizers are set to announce this year's lineup in the coming days.

Romania Film Festival runs Sept 26-Oct. 4 in the city of Arad.
